Amazon.com essential recording

Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64," to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You," and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life," Sgt. Pepper was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy Altman

5 out of 5 stars Before Music Videos - SGT Peppers - An Imaginary Experience .......2007-08-01

The most amazing thing about this Beatle record was/is that it transcends the musical experience. Keep in mind that in 1967, there was no MTV or VH1. When this record was playing your imagination went wild! It was like your own personal movie in your head. It starts like being at the theatre and then you go everywhere imagineable... sitting on a sofa with meter maid, inside the home of well meaning parents, going to the freak show circus, attending a church-like service with sitar, dreaming of growing old with the one you love, sitting in a high school class p*ssed off at the world, overcoming dysfunctional relations, riding in a boat, witnessing an accident, watching a fox hunt, reading a book, WOW. And everyone saw it there own personal way, no two imaginations are alike. The Beatles took you to a magical place within your own being with this record. I am grateful that there was no video to ruin it! BRAVO Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band! A Day in the Life is a masterpiece.

5 out of 5 stars A classic.......2007-07-31

Sgt. Pepper deserves to be considered one of the greatest achievements in popular music. This issue is good quality and includes a nice booklet that explains the album - including a diagram of who's who on the cover picture.

5 out of 5 stars Just a very good Beatles playlist.......2007-07-31

Is this the greatest album ever? It probably is in terms of influence, from packaging and marketing, to the very notion that a rock or pop music album really matters. In terms of its musical merit, one can easily make the case that Pepper has been overhyped - and its shortcomings are all the more glaring in light of the album's cannonical status in modern culture. This record has suffered from its own success - and after forty years - its conceivable that it now represents something of a let-down. After all, no recording could possibly meet the expectations that this album carries.
This album should be approached for what it is, a very solid album by a talented musical group (that only happens to be my favorite band - and maybe the favored band of quite a few others). The strongest points of the album are its opening tracks and closing tracks - which form a medley of sorts and further the illusion of conceptual unity. Many (Lennon included) have derided the idea that this album is truly a concept album - and it certainly is not one in the sense that the Who's "Tommy" or Pink Floyd's "The Wall" are. The concept is more fundamental - that this disc contains a set of pop/rock songs that have been thoughtfully arranged together for all time - and not packaged at random to meet immediate market demand. In a way, with Napster and I-Tunes, the great age of the album that began with Sgt. Pepper, "Pet Sounds," and other 1966/1967 releases has come to an end in this decade, and this has made it it even more difficult to grasp what the fuss was truly all about. But if one wished to make a short Beatles playlist on their I-pod that captured the overall personality of the group, as well as having a representative effort for each of its four members, and a good mix of rock, pop, and experimental numbers - Sgt. Pepper would be an ideal playlist.

5 out of 5 stars Best Album Ever!!.......2007-07-30

This has got to be, without a doubt the best album ever!!
The genius of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr shine in this album. Two of them are greatly missed. There are just no words to describe this album except for Pure Genius.

I've been reading some of the negative reviews on this album, and yes there are quite a few! Some say this album is satanic, others say it's overrated. Whatever! This album is not satanic, nor is it overrated. I think this album opened up a new kind of music into the world, and people loved it.

George's Indian music is amazing, and lets not forget John's masterpiece, "A Day in the Life."

I'm lucky enough to own the record, which I bought at a flea market for a $1.00. Yes, some moron sold his Sgt. Pepper album for a buck!! I took it home and the album works perfectly! I doubt it's a first edition, but who cares?

If you don't have this album, go buy it! Give it to your kids so they can appreciate what GOOD music sounds like.

apparently they were recording this album for 6 months...so you would have expected something truly amazing.but in my opinion it is no where near the best beatles album.abbey road is so much better.the 30 seconds in the middle of "a day in the life"(p macartney sings) is worth the money on its own.

Amazon.com essential recording

The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's hard-rocking, "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" make the strongest impression. A series of song fragments edited together in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official close ("Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End") is nicely undercut, in typical Beatles fashion, by Paul McCartney's cheeky "Her Majesty," which follows. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A Beatles classic.......2007-07-31

One of the greatest Beatles albums. This issue comes in a single crystal case with just an insert with the cover picture and song titles - no booklet of info on the album. Such an important album deserves an information booklet. One star subtracted for that.

4 out of 5 stars beatles best.......2007-07-28

i wanted to give this 5 stars but octopus`s garden and maxwells silver hammer are the only negative tracks."something" is incredible (john lennon at his best).but i have to take my hat off to paul macartney for what is on side b."golden slumbers" and "carry that weight" are class..."mean mr mustard and polythene pam" are brilliant,but "you never give me your money" is in my opinion the best beatle track.it was the first time i had heard a song go in so many different directions but just come together so well.

5 out of 5 stars The Beatles Just Got Better.......2007-07-27

So many groups seem to fade away in their creativity and sound. But the Beatles pushed it to the limit each and every time. Even as they were drifting apart as a group, their music continued to push boundaries of creativity and sound, leaving other groups behind in awe. Even to the point of a 23 second song called "Her Majesty" They literally did not waste a second.

Abbey Road, the title itself sums up the CD. The road that became a studio, that became a household name, to the point where 40 years later there are television specials of present day artists recording in the Abbey Road studios.

It doesn't get much better than Abbey Road!

4 out of 5 stars Second Side is the Best.......2007-07-24

The second side of Abbey Road is my all time favorite record. I have listened to this album hundreds of times over since 1969, I think. The first side is pretty good-- I'd give it 3 stars. But the second side is fabulous. .-- Sam Yulish, author of WHERE HAVE ALL THE HIPPIES GONE and THE HESITANT PSYCHIC AND OTHER STRANGE STORIES.

5 out of 5 stars Top 3 beatles albums........2007-07-23

Better known as the "White Album," this was meant to be the record that brought them back to earth after three years of studio experimentation. Instead, it took them all over the place, continuing to burst the envelope of pop music. Lennon and McCartney were still at the height of their powers, with Lennon in particular growing into one of rock's towering figures. But even McCartney could still rock, and the amazement on "Helter Skelter" was that he had vocal cords at the end. From Beach Boys knock-offs to reggae and to the unknown ("Revolution #9"), this has it all. Some records have legend written all over them; this is one. --Chris Nickson

5 out of 5 stars This Rocks!.......2007-07-25

This Cd ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! It's my favorite beatles album. It has a different veriety of songs. For Some songs you just have to appriciate the music instead of the lyrics like "why don't we do it in the road?"
The Only one i don't like is "Yer Blues". It's Like their solo albums. The Best CD i ever herd!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars A perennial classic.......2007-07-23

As good today as it was back in the 1980s when I first bought it.

5 out of 5 stars Breaking the Barriers.......2007-06-29

This was the album where the Beatles grew up and moved into a more mature and less organised sound. That road had begun with "A Day In a Life" and "Within You Without You" and "Good Morning" in Sgt Peppers - but the Beatles were still a smart pop rock band then.

In the White Album, there is a wonderful sense of a loss of control - and yet this is still the Beatles at their creative peak. Not caring what people think, they're just playing to the maximum of their abilities. And shattering barriers.

The power of their varied personalities comes through. And different sides of their personality. Who cares about anything except the music I'm feeling now? seems to be the prevalent thought here. The White Album is the Beatles Matured - who would have imagined that the Beatles would create "Helter Skelter"? or "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"...Epic stuff that certified that the Beatles could rock. "Dear Prudence" and "Sexy Sadie" and "Blackbird" are eminently listenable. In fact - apart from some ditties and departures - the album is strikingly distinctive as a playground of sounds - it is dynamic from one end to the other and still eminently listenable and deep.

How do you define genius? This is one hard album to ignore.

5 out of 5 stars Some of the Beatles Best Work.......2007-06-27

Wow...this brings back great memories. The songs are so diverse and unusual, showing their true talent and creative song writing abilities. The songs are fun and strange all at the same time. It is one of my favorites of the Beatles. When you can have "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Rocky Raccoon" and "Blackbird" in one package....what more can you ask!

5 out of 5 stars It's Four Solo Albums & Still Great.......2007-06-23

This was on sale way Back in November 1968, for $5.00. That was the best five Bucks I ever spent. By 1968 after Eight years Together, The Beatles had just about seen it all, and they were very close to imploding. But, Lucky for all of us John, Paul, George & Ringo were on top of their Game and with the "White Album" they Presented their Best Songwriting and their greatest Playing over the Span of the 30 Tracks Here.
From: "Back in the USSR" all the way thro' to "Goodnight" and my favorite Track in reverse: "Revolution #9" you get a Beatle Album So Different & so Bold in it's Scope and Range from anything else they Gave us. We were Very Lucky to Have this band on the Planet from: 1964-70. It will never happen again in our Lifetime, But here it is, in all it's Glory...

There are almost 1,000 reviews posted here and About 95 Per-Cent of those Reviews are Gonna tell you how GREAT this is, and it is, Don't waste your Time Reading About this Record, BUY IT NOW.

Rank 'em how you like, Rubber Soul is an undeniable pivot point in the Fab Four's varied discography no matter where, or how, you first heard it. The album was softened up in its original 12-song American edition to jibe with the Dylan/Byrds folk-rock sound, as well as squeeze money from the Parlophone catalog. The 14-song U.K. edition--the version now available on compact disc--is a different, more dynamic, and ultimately more accomplished achievement. So many classics: "Drive My Car" and "Nowhere Man" (both omitted from the U.S. edition) merge the early combustible Beatifics to a burgeoning studio consciousness; "The Word" can be read as a pre-psych warning shot; the sitar-laden "Norwegian Wood" and the evocative "Girl" (the latter written on the last night of the sessions) stand as turning points in John Lennon's oeuvre. George finally emerges too, with the McGuinn-ish "If I Needed Someone." --Don Harrison

But then how good is a [...]memory? I dunno. It just didn't resonate like the old days. A handful of greats like MICHELLE, but mostly songs that are forgettable.

3 out of 5 stars poor sound quality .......2007-07-26

I was SO disappointed with the CD. I loved the album when it came out, but the CD lacked the sound quality befitting this classic. I was glad to see that it's still in circulation via Amazon, but something went wrong.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Beatles.......2007-07-21

One of my favorite Beatles albums. I've had it on vinyl since it came out many years ago and have all of the Beatles compilations on CD, but I wanted to have this whole album on CD, too. Finally got around to it and after I played it once, I was reminded what a great album this is!

5 out of 5 stars Fusion Album.......2007-07-18

At an abundant time of musical creativity, George Martin keeps released material progressing at a pace that connects us with some familiarities found in their earlier music and yet must begin to open the door for us to witness the musical revolution he saw emerging shortly, and still managed well having the support of the four.

5 out of 5 stars A New Direction.......2007-07-02

Rubber Soul was very different in the approach and sound of the previous albums. Meet the Beatles, Please Please Me, etc were all good albums but for the most part it was just bubble gum music that teen girls ate up.

During the time of Rubber Soul, the guys were getting into differnt styles of music from their own. Bob Dylan was a huge influence on every artist after him, his writting influenced a new direction for John and Paul. Also like everyone else drugs creeped into play.

Drive My Car is a good opening track that is a good transition into this new sounding album. It's what kids in the suburbs expected. Norwegian Wood is basically the same thing as Bob Dylan's 4th Time Around with a sitar.

The other Songs like Nowhere Man are kind of surreal in the lyrics and singing of the three. John and Paul had similar songs in Michelle and Girl. Michelle has that smooth sound that's his bread and butter, and Girl is basically Johns version of the same song (in my opinion).

John always took more chances in his writting than Paul. Paul was a lot more commercial and was hesitant to do anything drastic. In My Life is my favorite track on the album and I think it's one of the best out of their whole catalog.

George and Ringo also have their time to shine. In Previous songs, Rino could only play the back beat cause if he tried anything else you couldn't hear it over the screaming girls. This new direction really gave him more freedom to fill the empty space of the songs. And George is always spot on with his playing. I love how he just seemed to stay true to himself after all the mania.

I look at Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper as almost like a trilogy. All three just have nice transitions that you can some how tell that that's the order they were released in. The maturaty in the lyrics, the new sounds incorporating new instruments and musicians.

Back to Rubber Soul... Overall it's one of my favorite albums of all time. It's definitely an album everyone should listen to. The songs are timeless and it sounds like nothing else. I love how the songs never go out of "style" I don't really believe one can slap a date on the music because it's revelant even today. There's always new generations discovering this music continuing the legacy of the Four Working Class Lads from Liverpool.

Revolver wouldn't remain the Beatles' most ambitious LP for long, but many fans--including this one--remember it as their best. An object lesson in fitting great songwriting into experimental production and genre play, this is also a record whose influence extends far beyond mere they-was-the-greatest cheerleading. Putting McCartney's more traditionally melodic "Here, There and Everywhere" and "For No One" alongside Lennon's direct-hit sneering ("Dr. Robert") and dreamscapes ("I'm Only Sleeping," "Tomorrow Never Knows") and Harrison's peaking wit ("Taxman") was as conceptually brilliant as anything Sgt. Pepper attempted, and more subtly fulfilling. A must. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Revolver is the best album of all-time.......2007-07-16

and it's by the best band of all time (and I do know all the songs off of Sgt. Pepper).

Revolver comes at the midway point of The Beatles, and it is a peak for them. Every song on this album is good at the least (except maybe Yellow Submarine), and there are plenty of great songs, not only perfectly written, but perfectly executed by John, Paul and (sometimes) George's vocals, George's lead guitar (especially in "And Your Bird Can Sing"), Paul's bass, and, of course, Ringo''s drumming. The Great songs are, IMO "Got to Get You Into My Life," "I'm Only Sleeping," "Eleanor Rigby," "I Want To Tell You," "For No One" and "And Your Bird Can Sing." Through all these songs you can see the maturing song writing abilities of Paul, John, and George that you can see starting to surface in "Rubber Soul," going past the boy-girl relationships of the early Beatles, or at least making their boy-girl songs much more complex, instead of "I'm in love, It's a great day" (which you do see part of in "Good Day Sunshine," but John and Paul still found a way to make it a complex song).


I could go on and on about the greatness of this album and the bad that made it, but i'll just get to the bottom line: Buy it.

And Revolver is a freakin' great album. Revolver is probally the best balance between normal pop and serious themes (some that will get you thinking more than The early Beatles lyrics). That's probally what stands out from the rest, the instruments include piano and horns, and they work out well. Piano's were coming into more of a focus into The Beatles' music, and those instruments came into focus more, while avoiding the expiremental tracks of the later Beatles. It's a wonderful blend of pop with the piano and other instruments that The BEatles never used, yet still staying firmly to the ground and not going into the sky of Diamonds, on a magical mystery tour.

It sounds more different because of that. Yes, people have reviewed it better, but The Beatles never stopped suprising people with all different kinds of music and styles, and kept on evolving. I think that Evolver should have been the name, so 311 shouldn't have stolen (I like The Beatles better than 311, although they can't get me that energized as 311).

Like all other Beatles albums, they are kind of short, and I have to take off .5 because of I want To Tell You, which I didn't care for as much, but every other song sounded like The Beatles knocked themselves out making it perfect. Essential.

11/10

5 out of 5 stars The epitome of perfection.......2007-07-04

This has been my favorite Beatles' album for years and years and years, as well as one of my top favorite albums overall. While of course some of the techniques used on certain of the songs aren't going to seem as revolutionary or current as they were back in 1966, that doesn't change the fact that at the time, they were very radical innovations, helped to change the face of pop music, and really marked the beginning of The Beatles' mature period. By this point they'd finally fully graduated from doing just love songs and simplistic pop to dealing with weightier subjects, and using a greater amount of studio experimentation, such as the backwards guitar in "I'm Only Sleeping" and the tape loops sounding like exotic birds in "Tomorrow Never Knows." Overall, I'd have to say that it's quite possibly their best album, maybe even the one that's stood the test of time the best (even allowing for how some aspects of the music may seem dated to some people today, it doesn't come across like some horribly dated period piece either). Every song is just so great; it really just seems like the epitome of perfection, the type of album one could listen to several times in a row or every day and not get bored of or skip any tracks on (though I must admit I don't really care for "For No One"). As great as they were, how many other albums did they make that one could say were truly as perfect as this one? One can also easily understand why this has been called their acid album.

Another great thing about this album is how balanced it is. While on some albums, one Beatle predominates (such as how John sings lead on 9 of the 13 tracks on AHDN and half of the songs on RS), here it's much more distributed. John and Paul each sing 5 songs, with the requisite Ringo song ("Yellow Submarine," one of his most famous), and the remaining three songs, including the opening one, going to George. Apart from the White Album where he had 4 songs, such a relatively generous amount of songs would never happen again. One can tell from these three songs that he was really growing and maturing as a songwriter even this early into having become the band's third songwriter. The musical styles themselves are also rather balanced; there are soft songs like "Here, There, and Everywhere," fun meaningless pop like "And Your Bird Can Sing," social commentary songs like "Eleanor Rigby," the Indian-influenced "Love You To" (one of my favorite tracks), partially autobiographical songs like "She Said She Said," and songs with a strong psychedelic influence, like the hypnotic "I'm Only Sleeping" (probably my favorite track) and the closing track "Tomorrow Never Knows." I won't even get into people who are genuinely wondering why this isn't the Capitol repackaging they remember from childhood; I can't imagine this album without such key tracks as "Dr. Robert" and "I'm Only Sleeping," and am baffled as to why anyone would find the repackagings to be superior to the authentic British originals other than sentimental reasons.

Overall, this album is the perfect midway point between their early, more innocent period and their later, more serious period, a transitional bridge between the two eras. I also couldn't think of many more of their albums that would be this much of an ideal introduction to a new fan.

3 out of 5 stars Review of Revolver UK.......2007-07-03

I bought it mainly for one song, but should have purchased if off of Itunes. Its a good album, nice happy songs, takes you back in time.

5 out of 5 stars Volume 2.......2007-07-02

Revolver was released after Rubber Soul. This album continues the evolution of writting and composing of the fab four. It sounds very similar to Rubber Soul and is another great album.

Overall it's a lot more "60s" in the sound. A lot more of Georges Indian influence in the music. A lot more randomness in the writting of Lennon/McCartney. A lot more great drumming by Ringo (He's great on Tomorrow Never Knows).

Taxman is a classic song by George. It's sounds very similar to Drive My Car and just has a nice groove to it.

Paul says he made up a lot of "characters" in his songs like Eleanor Rigby. The String section was first used in Yestarday and is a perfect opening to Eleanor.

Other notable tracks are Goodday Sunshine, She Said She Said, and Tomorrow Never Knows. This is a great track written by John. He didn't want to come off the wrong way in his presentation so he used a saying Ringo came up with in "Tomorrow Never Knows." This was a huge step in moving forward in the music. It showed the audience a sneek peak as to what future music would sound like and I think it's a perfect song to end with to transition into the Genius of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Amazon.com essential recording

Proving yet again their willingness to dice 'n' slice their burgeoning legacy into new--if not exactly fresh--product, the Fab Four Minus One have released this single-disc compendium of their No. 1 hits. Though obviously superfluous to the faithful (who may also find themselves quibbling over the precise definition of "No. 1 hit" and the exclusion of seeming contenders like "Please Please Me" and "Strawberry Fields"), newly arrived visitors from the Pleiades star cluster and other neophytes will find it a concise and generous (nearly 80 minutes) single-disc introduction to the band's career-spanning, unparalleled dominance of pop music in the 1960s. But beyond being a mere trophy case of commercial success (and it won't be hard to find critics who'll argue that these singles aren't even the band's best work), it's also a Cliff's Notes take on a remarkable seven-year run of musical evolution, one that stretches from the neo-skiffle of "Love Me Do" through a remarkable synthesis of R&B, rockabilly, Tin Pan Alley, gospel, country, and classical that still defies efforts to effectively deconstruct it. This is the pop monument equivalent of the '27 Yankees and '90s Bulls; it's every bit as obvious and dominating--and just as essential. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars As good as you think it is.......2007-07-08

John, Paul, George, and Ringo. If this phrase does not move you then you should go back to your George Michael videos and prey he'll become heterosexual! This is everything that you remember from the Beatles.

5 out of 5 stars great collection.......2007-07-06

Beatles 1 is a good collection of the Beatles #1 hit singles. Perfect for the casual Beatles fan or for someone just being introduced to the Beatles music for the first time. If you are interested in hearing more Beatles music, collect their albums. Depending on your taste, you can get their early 60s stuff or their late 60s stuff or both time periods. Personally, I enjoy their early 60s stuff more than their late 60s stuff and have a collection of their early 60s albums.

5 out of 5 stars Memories of past music.......2007-06-27

I guess this is a CD of their best songs and is well worth buying. Now I have a tape and CD of their music and could not be happier.

The album feels even more like a collection of singles (instead of an actual movie soundtrack) than Help! or A Hard Day's Night, but maybe that's because every song sounds like it could have been a hit single--with the natural exception of the goofy/weird instrumental "Flying." Even George's "Blue Jay Way" paints a vivid sound-portrait in fascinating detail. (I consider Joni Mitchell's "Car on the Hill" from Court and Spark to be a companion piece about sitting in the Hollywood Hills, waiting for somebody to show up.) And although the goofy TV movie may have been mostly Paul's baby, this album features the two 45 rpm masterpieces that sum up the quintessential best of Lennon and McCartney at this stage of their development: Paul's "Penny Lane" and John's "I Am the Walrus." --Jim Emerson

5 out of 5 stars Can It Get Any Better?.......2007-06-27

Instant Classic is an overused cliche', but it describes this CD accurately. This CD is a must for any Beatle fan. It continues to show the Beatles were leaders in creative song writing and production, taking studio work to a whole different level.

5 out of 5 stars The most 'out there' Beatle's album........2007-06-14

This is the first Beatles album I knew. Got it on 8-track. I knew of their earlier songs first, though I never owned any albums. I was 14 at the time and fell in love with this album. I loved every single song on it, not one was deficient. Then my 8-track was eaten by the machine. I didn't buy it again until just a week ago. In the mean time, I bought Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road, and The White Album, all of which are masterpieces. All of them are so different from each other as well, each having their own personality, if you will. Well, after not having the Magical Mystery Tour for 20 years, I was pleasantly surprised that I remembered every tune. What I didn't remember was the deep psychedelia that pervaded the album. This album is both light (Your Mother Should Know, Fool on the Hill, All You Need Is Love, Baby You're a Rich Man, Penny Lane, Hello Goodbye), and dark (Strawberry Fields Forever, I Am the Walrus, Flying, Blue Jay Way, and the opener - Magical Mystery Tour). Very unique sounds on this album, and quite cool that it happened 40 years ago. Even Trent Reznor, a master in his own right owes a lot to this album. Cheers!!!

5 out of 5 stars great album, perhaps, one day, a deluxe edition with full booklet. .......2007-06-05

This recording (40 Years old now, wow, who would believe 1967-2007) is one of the Beatles most interesting recordings. Featuring hits like Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, I Am The Walrus, and some interesting work from the late George Harrison, Blue Jay Way, it serves as testament of how the Beatles were trying new things. One possible improvement (as if there could be) a "deluxe" edition, which would feature a miniature reproduction of the album booklet (in its entirety), featuring additional pictures and so on. Otherwise fine recording. Recommended also: Rubber Soul (which I also bought with this and generally all of the Beatles catalog[ue] [as it's spelled in England]).

5 out of 5 stars part two of sgt peppers another trippy album.......2007-06-03

This is the part two of, 'Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band', this has the same amount of Psychedellic Trippy music as does, 'Sgt. Peppers', except this album has maybe even more. This is a very good example of what kind of music people were listening to back during The Summer Of Love 1967. Great great album it's a true example of Trippy Psychedellic Rock. This is a great album if you don't have any access to this album buy it today, if you dig Psychedellic Rock. If you do dig that you won't be mad you bought it.

5 out of 5 stars Still Magical... All these years later..........2007-05-28

I still love this album as much as I have since I heard it as a pre-teen. Though I have grown to appreciate Abbey Road and Sgt. Peppers as being greater albums, I can still spend many an hours listening to the fantastic songs on this album. There is a great feel to this album. It features lovely and uplifting songs from Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, to All You Need is Love. For me, when it comes to great albums/CDs, all you need is the Beatles.

Amazon.com essential recording

Also known as the "rune" album or Zoso because of the medieval symbols adorning the inner sleeve, Led Zeppelin's fourth album, released in 1971, turned them from mere superstars into giant behemoths of the rock world. On tracks like "Black Dog," "Misty Mountain Hop," and "Rock and Roll," the combination of Robert Plant's banshee wails and Jimmy Page's frenetic guitar playing forever altered the stylistic bent of hard rock music. And the foreboding "When the Levee Breaks" demonstrated that Zeppelin could indeed play the blues fairly straight if they so desired. Still, everything here ultimately took a back seat to the album's (and, ultimately, the band's) magnum opus--the expertly constructed and deftly executed classic, "Stairway to Heaven." --Billy Altman

Amazon.com

Jimmy Page was a top London studio guitarist before he got rich and famous as the musical leader of Led Zeppelin. The group's fourth--and arguably their finest--album is as much a tribute to his technique as a monument to his versatility. Page produced the album, co-wrote all eight songs, and played mandolin as well as all the guitars. Musically, this 1971 disc ranges from acoustic English folke ("Goin' to California" and "The Battle of Evermore," the latter featuring the late Fairport Convention frontwoman Sandy Denny) to bone-crushing, bluesy riff-slinging. On the album's centerpiece, "Stairway to Heaven," these light and dark strains are dramatically intertwined. The chiming "Four Sticks" aside, it's the Little Richard-inspired "Rock and Roll" and the tricky time changes--a Zeppelin trademark--of the fast-and-furious "Black Dog" that elevate this album into more than just a bustle in aspiring guitarists' hedgerows. --Don Waller

5 out of 5 stars LED ZEPPELIN IV : CLASSIC ROCK IN ALL IT'S GLORY !.......2007-08-01

Led Zeppelin IV, with it's rock opus Stairway To Heaven, secured the band's status as rock gods when it was released in 1971, and still remains the third best-selling album of all time. The songs are all staples on today's classic-rock radio, and they're all still very much a part of people's lives. Just yesterday, I saw somebody wearing a t-shirt with the ZOSO album cover image on the front of it. Musically, Led Zeppelin IV offers a variety of heavy-metal, blues, acoustic music, and rock n' roll. The album opens with the enthusiastic and lusty Black Dog. With Robert Plant scream-singing sensuous lyrics and Jimmy Page playing a wicked-fast guitar riff, the song is a classic. It's followed by another classic, Rock And Roll. With lyrics reminicent of 1950s era rock n' roll, and a heavier, electric, and updated version of that genre, the song definitely lives up to it's title. The Battle Of Evermore is an acoustic, mandolin dominated, medievil fantasy that has an otherworldly aura. It's followed by the legendary Stairway To Heaven, and of course, it's one of the greatest songs in the history of rock music, and it carries significant weight on this album. Beginning with only an acoustic guitar and flute, it deliberately and skillfully builds through several tempo changes and melodies untill it reaches the heights of screaming heavy-metal brilliance. The mood of the song is reflective and hopeful, and it strikes a chord in people's hearts and thoughts every time they hear it. It was was destined to become the legend that it is and will always be. Misty Mountain Hop and Four Sticks both include inventive guitar, interesting lyrics, and they rock with unrelenting beats. The acoustic and mellow Going To California adds variety and a change of pace. The album closes with another classic, When The Levee Breaks, a heavy-metal-meets-the-blues celebration of intense expression. John Bonham's excellant, and as always, powerful drums are highlighted on this one, and the song closes this classic album perfectly. Led Zeppelin IV is most definitely a classic rock legend. It will be an indelible part of our lives and rock music forever, and year after year after year, Stairway To Heaven will be named the The Number One Song Of All-Time on classic-rock radio stations all over the world.

5 out of 5 stars The Essence of Rock and Roll.......2007-07-07

The original and definitive heavy metal band, Led Zeppelin made their mark in several other categories with their fourth album. The vocals of Robert Plant, guitar playing of Jimmy Page, and drumming of John Bonham are all the stuff of legend. John Paul Jones brings extra versatility and originality on bass, keyboard AND acoustic guitar. The songs:

Black Dog - blues-influenced (like a lot of earlier Zeppelin), loud and raunchy (in the best kind of way), some over-the-top vocal stylings
Rock And Roll - barn-burning blues and a great vehicle to show off one of the greatest rock drummers ever
The Battle Of Evermore - inventive art rock that proved that these guys were not only great rockers, but great artists as well
Stairway To Heaven - the definitive power ballad
Misty Mountain Hop - more barn-burning blues with monstrously huge guitar sounds and distinctive electric piano riff
Four Sticks - raucous art rock, using a crazy time signature and chord voicing that few bands other than Rush and Jethro Tull would dare to touch
Going To California - yes, they can do acoustic folk rock better than anyone else too
When The Levee Breaks - more rowdy blues, this time with some gritty harmonica to give it a different vibe

The production and engineering behind this album are the icing on the cake. Recording students are still studying and copying this stuff and trying to reproduce the "Bonham drum sound" to this day. The generous echoes and overdubs on Plant's vocals somehow never seem overdone or dated.

This is the amazing work of an amazing team of players and recording experts on their best days ever. Rock fans should be intimately familiar with this timeless and hugely influential CD.

5 out of 5 stars brings back memories........2007-06-20

i know that a lot of people claim to have gone to the original woodstock concert, but i really did. and of all the great bands who played there, this was the best. i will never forget their great set. the lead singer and guitarist was a black man who played his guitar left-handed. the best song they played there was a great, great song about somebody named Purple Hayes, who could get into your mind. i think the title of the song was "Purple Hayes." unfortunately i have never been able to find that song on an album, but this album is great anyway. i just discovered it, and it is full of great songs. there is one song here called "Stairway to Heaven," which is about a stairway that goes up to Heaven. cool. and there is other neat stuff, too. get this record. you should. and if anyone knows what album "Purple Hayes" is on, please please please let me know.

5 out of 5 stars ZOSO.......2007-06-12

This is the album that got me in to Zepp, and the first one I ever bought.
This ground breaking recording was Zepplin's #1 album, and if this would have been the only album they would released, I think they still would have had just as much of and impact on the world as they do now.


1. Black Dog- Strange name but awesome song, and one of the best riffs ever!!! 5/5


2. Rock And Roll- This song is exactilly what the name is; Rock And Roll. It's Zeppelin at their best, Jimmy Page's solo is simply amazing and fits with the song. Perfect riff, Perferct title, and a perfect solo make this song, well...perfect! 5/5

3. Battle of Evermore- It's always nice to slow it up a bit with some thing accustic, and "Battle Of Evermore" is that something accustic. This song really shows off Robert Plant's vocal range and fetures matiline. Bring it Back! 5/5

4. Stairway to Heaven- This is a song that needs no introduction, it's such a totamic peace of music, mainly because it is a constant climing song. It has some of the stragest lyrics of all time, and is known for having a backwards massage. Message or not it is still an amazing song, and Jimmy gives one of the best solos ever. 5/5

5. Misty Mountain Hop- This is the first Zeppelin song I ever heard and it still rocks. Greatest riff of all time? Maybe, but one thing that I know that everyone thinks at some point is, "What the hell is a Misty Mountain Hop?" The world may never know. 5/5

6. Four Sticks- This is a highly underratted song. It has tons of cool elements about it, Electric and accustic guitar parts, cool vocals, and great keyboard. Classic hard rock song. 5/5

7. Going To California- Another accustic song, nice and mellow. 4/5

8. When the Leeve Breaks- Best drum beat ever, provided by the one and only Bonzo. Heavy riff with some harmonica, great way to finish off a great album. 4.5/5

Led Zeppelin made their mark on the world with this one, legend- Chuck

5 out of 5 stars Simply the Best.......2007-06-04

I would like to start this review by stating that this is, arguably, the greatest rock album ever recorded. I don't see how it has an overall 4.5 star rating and it's all of the idiotic 1-star reviews that bring it down. I'm not calling it the best rock album of all time because I'm giving in to the hype about it, because I'm not. I own it and have listened through it over a hundred times so I am more than familiar with it, along with the rest of Zeppelin's music. This is simply the most complete, diverse and distinctive album ever. Not only are Plant, Page, Jones and Bonham gods of their instruments but they are likewise with song writing. The songs range from funky rock and roll (Black Dog, Rock and Roll) to groovy melodies (Misty Mountain Hop) to the more melodic ballads (Battle of Evermore, Going to California) to the epic heavy hitters on the album, Stairway and When the Levee Breaks. These four guys have mastered blues-inspired rock and roll and play it like no other. Jimmy Page is equally masterful and brilliant with the electric and acoustic guitars and his melodies are some of the most unconventional, odd time-signatured yet captivating ever. This is the quintissential hard rock album and it seems like all other albums should be measured up against this one.

I give every single song on this album a 10/10 with the exception of Four Sticks, which I would give a 9.5. Albums can't really rate much higher.

These are the gods of rock and this is their masterpiece. No person who claims to listen to rock should be without it. Don't pay any attention to the 1-star reviews, or the 2- and 3- star reviews, for that matter. They are ridiculous and written solely out of rebellion. Let them listen to their Fallout Boys and Nirvanas and Panic at the Discos. This is real music.

I am someone who usually does not give in to fads and trends just for the sake of doing it, but Led Zeppelin IV is a trend that I can't help but follow. It's simply the best..

Unfairly, as it's often as charming, well written, and (oh yeah) rocking as the Beatles' "better" albums; it's also more outright fun than Abbey Road, the masterpiece it followed into the stores. With Lennon and McCartney working together on the perfect "I've Got a Feeling," "Two of Us," and "Dig a Pony," it's hard to believe these guys were about to implode. --Rickey Wright

4 out of 5 stars Let it Beatle.......2007-07-30

I bought this CD specifically for a copy of "Two of Us" for music for my son's wedding and was surprised how well all of the music continues to hold up. Of course, I have the vinyl album from back in the day but it was never one of my very favorites. I am really glad I rediscovered it. And, of course, it is the only Beatles album produced by Phil Spector. How time does bring things to circle.

2 out of 5 stars I'M TIRED, SO TIRED...........2007-07-12

TO MY SURPRISE, NOTHING REALLY STOOD OUT AS I EXPECTED IT TO. THIS ALBUM DIDN'T DO IT FOR ME 35 YEARS AGO EITHER. I WAS HOPING I WAS WRONG; PERHAPS I'M JUST TIRED LIKE 'THEY' WERE THEN...

3 out of 5 stars The Convoluted End.......2007-07-08

The heavy black border on the front cover, the inexplicable reversion by the band members to "younger" looks, the red apple label, the "new phase Beatles album" line on the back cover, all played their part in confusing one particular 13-year-old upon this album's release. It would only be about five years later, once the Beatle literature began to proliferate in earnest, that I comprehended the situation behind what many commentators bemoaned as a painfully weak finish to a spectacular musical career, indeed epoch. All these years later I still find myself agreeing that it was a shame the Beatles didn't keep this one in the vault and let Abbey Road stand as their true swan song.

Overall, though, Let It Be really does little to tarnish the Beatles' reputation. There are small pleasures here that stand the test of time better than some of the Beatles' more grandiose efforts. "Two of Us" and "Get Back" can proudly take their place among the best of Lennon-McCartney, and even the overproduced "Across the Universe" and "The Long and Winding Road" still have a haunting melodic beauty.

And the Beatles, being the Beatles, didn't leave this without an odd wrinkle or two in the backstory. For one thing, this is the album for which the final Beatles recording sessions were conducted. Absent John, the rest of the group convened sometime after Abbey Road was put to bed to record George's "I Me Mine", which was featured in the Let It Be film, but only in rough form. They also put some finishing touches to the title track. These sessions were conducted in January 1970, which gave the Beatles the barest toehold as a working group in the new decade. The initial release of the album also reportedly featured a book of photos that one commentator described over thirty years ago as "useless", though I've never seen that book and would very much like to, if only to say I did.

And there is this: the album is entirely free of even the barest hint of the sometimes painful tension on display in the film. I'm not sure what that means, except that they obviously had moments even at this nadir when they could rally and make the magic happen.

5 out of 5 stars This Album gets such a bad rep.......2007-07-05

And i dont really know why. It has some of the beatles better songs on it, and its a pretty cohesive album on the whole. yes, it does seem that spector can be accused of overproduction; it would have undoubtedly been better if martin was producing. dont pass this album up. its essential to anyone's catalog.

As it turned out, Led Zeppelin's infamous 1969 debut album was indicative of the decade to come--one that, fittingly, this band helped define with its decadently exaggerated, bowdlerized blues-rock. In shrieker Robert Plant, ex-Yardbird Jimmy Page found a vocalist who could match his guitar pyrotechnics, and the band pounded out its music with swaggering ferocity and Richter-scale-worthy volume. Pumping up blues classics such as Otis Rush's "I Can't Quit You Baby" and Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Times" into near-cartoon parodies, the band also hinted at things to come with the manic "Communication Breakdown" and the lumbering set stopper "Dazed and Confused." --Billy Altman

5 out of 5 stars MASTERPIECE from 1968 that still holds extreme value!.......2007-07-31

They all clamber for the fourth album, the Zoso album, or they talk and they talk about this album or that album or yadda yadda yadda! Enough with the gibberish, the First album...this one, the self titled one, is the one to behold. Still phenomenal after all this time has passed...can you believe this album is nearly 40 years old? Just amazing, but what came after it is not what I am here to review, it is this album. Communication Breakdown bombs in and takes you for a pretty raw and fun ride! I won't go into detail but every song is a work of art when it comes to Rock and Roll. If you don't have this album you should, it is one of the best overall albums in Rock history next to the likes of Dark Side of the Moon and so on and so forth.

Jimmy Page is on guitar and with Plant at the mic, this thing was just the beginning...but even then it is such a superb album filled with soul, rock and roll, and metal. Long Live Led Zeppelin!

1 out of 5 stars Biggest ripoff in the history of music!.......2007-07-05

I understand I am about to anger many legions of Led Zeppelin fans. Unfortunately not all Zeppelin fans have done their homework as well as Page and Plant and company did for this album. Here they shamelessly steal from other artists' songs and put their names on them for songwriting credits!! Don't believe me? Well, here goes.

1) Good Times Bad Times-A great Zeppelin tune, hands down! Unfortunately it is the only one they truly wrote for this album.

2) Babe I'm Gonna leave You-Another great Zeppelin tune? Not quite. This is a dead ripoff of Joan Baez's version of an Ann Breden song of the same title. Check it out...same lyrics and music. How Zeppelin originally credited themselves for writing this song is despicable.

3) You Shook Me-A Credited Willie Dixon tune. However, if you listen to Jeff Beck's version on Truth, you will find shocking similarities.

4) Dazed and Confused- A Zeppelin warhorse if there ever was one. Too bad the song is a dead ripoff of Jake Holmes' song titled, of course, Dazed and Confused. Oh, it's just a title you say? Listen to Holmes' version and you will hear the same exact riff! When Page was with The Yardbirds, Holmes was an opening act and hence, Page's introduction to a song he would selfishly give himself credit for writing.

5) Your Time Is Gonna Come-Listen to the intro to this song and then listen to Traffic's Dear Mr. Fantasy and tell me if you don't see a similarity, or in fact, a carbon copy!

6) Black Mountain Side-This is laughable!! Bert Jansch wrote and performed a song titled..HAHA, Black Water Side. Interesting to note that the riffs are shockingly similar..And it makes me wonder...

7) Communication Breakdown-A rewrite of Eddie Cochran's Nervous Breakdown.

8) I Can't Quit You Baby-Another Willie Dixon cover which they appropriately give him credit for. A rarity on this release.

9) How Many More Times-What do you get when you combine a Howlin' Wolf cover of How Many More Years and Albert King's The Hunter? You get THIS song credited to Zeppelin as writers.

Don't believe me? If you can find the above mentioned songs I DARE you to play them back to back with the Zeppelin versions. Zeppelin proves, on this release anyway, that they were the greatest cover band in the history of music. I am sickened and disappointed. How sad that such great musicians can so obviously rip off other artists and not give them credit for these songs. Pathetic, actually.

Sadly, these are not the only songs in Zeppelin's catalogue that are partially or fully taken from other artists that Zeppelin shamelessy wears as their own. I also have references for Stairway to Heaven, Custard Pie, Whole Lotta Love, The Lemon Song, In My time Of Dying, When the Levee Breaks..etc..Yes, eventually Zep DID give SOME artists their just due...after being sued. You can argue and say Who Cares? These versions are great, and that may very well be. But the truth should be known and if you ARE going to listen to Zeppelin at least be aware of what has taken place. It's ok to cover someone else's song...IF YOU GIVE THEM PROPER CREDIT WITHOUT PASSING IT OFF AS YOUR OWN AND DECEIVING THE PUBLIC. As a music fan, I am insulted. Why do you think Zep sold all the rights to their songs to Atlantic Records? One word: Lawsuits!

These 'Gods' of rock are thieves and if you're serious about music and care anything about artistic integrity you should be at least a little bit angry at this deceitfulness. If you're not then either integrity means nothing to you OR you are as big a thief as Page and comp. were.

5 out of 5 stars Zeppelin's First.......2007-06-22

And in my opinion it is still the best.
Led Zeppelin I began the start of the world's most famous and most influential heavy bluesy folk rock band ever. Also Led Zep are cited as pioneers of heavy metal (although 1/3 of I's music was acoustic) just before Black Sabbath hit.
Advancing the sound of Cream, Led Zeppelin created a sound that was unique and one that was all their own back in 1969. Heck, Led Zeppelin advanced the boundaries of Rock 'n' Roll and inspired millions of others in their wake.
Besides The Beatles, Led Zeppelin was the first Rock band that I have ever heard and got into.
My Father used to shake the whole house while playing "Dazed and Confused" late at night, almost every night downstairs in our basement at that time. Slowly the song crept into my thoughts and introduced me to a whole "new" sound being only 9 or 10 years old.
I can still feel the vibrations under my feet from listening to that deep descending bassline that begans "Dazed and Confused". Still my favorite song on this, their debut.
"Good Times Bad Times" kicks this album off and early on in my childhood this was one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. It's just really catchy and upbeat & contains a swirling guitar effect set by Jimmy Page(one of the greatest guitarists ever).
"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" is still one of the most beautiful and most memeorable acoustic tracks that I have ever heard - "I Can hear it Calling me..." - The song was inspired by Joan Baez's song from 1962.
Other favorites of mine include : "Communication Breakdown" and "How Many More Times" - which in the early days was also Led Zep's (The Hammer Of the Gods) closing number during concert tours.
Led Zeppelin's First will always be one of my All-Time Favorite albums and it also holds one of my fondest childhood memories.

5 out of 5 stars classic blues rock.......2007-06-17

You know, I think by this point, Zeppelin's first album is now my favorite. The following four albums have been played quite frequently through the years (yes, even Zeppelin III). The original has been played just as much (I won't deny that) but there's something about the first album that just stays with me through the years.

Maybe it's the fact that the production is amazing for 1969 standards. Seriously, how many albums back then were this loud? Maybe Tommy from the Who. I can't think of many others. Black Sabbath's debut was released a year later, so that doesn't count.

Anyway, I really like what Zeppelin was doing here. You have fairly lengthy and successful attempts at blues rock, with extraordinary jamming skills scattered throughout the album. Zeppelin was just not the same after this one. I especially love the drumming and the creepy bass work. Great album.

4 out of 5 stars It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... Led Zeppelin.......2007-05-12

Led Zeppelin I (1969) Led Zeppelin's first studio album.

Out of the ashes of the Yardbird's came rock's most skilled - if not most important - guitarist of all time. Jimmy Page, joining forces with Plant, Jones, and Bonham, formed what would become the definitive hard rock band. Not only did Led Zeppelin help define a new genre of rock, they explored every possible point. This album was the jumping point.

Let's cut to the chase; it don't matter how these four geniuses came together, the important thing is that they did. The music here is very good, several of which are classic rock radio staples. The opener "Good Times, Bad Times" is a relatively soft introduction to what the rest of the album had in store. The slow blues of "Dazed and Confused" and manic rush of "Communication Breakdown" as well as the great instrumental "Black Mountain Side" help to create with a single stroke Zeppelin's distinctive sound.

I own the original vinyl from 1969, and this transfer is wonderful. But it's expected; Page is so darn protective of his (or their) music that he wouldn't settle for a remaster that didn't sound excellent. This is one of the greater albums of all time, yet is not the finest in the Zeppelin catalog. Anyone who is looking to get into Zeppelin should not start here, though; "IV" is the best place to go first, followed by "II" and "Physical Graffiti".
